Spry Fox, developer of games like Cozy Grove and Alphabears, is joining Netflix gaming to become the company’s sixth in-house game studio. News has been announced via a blog post on the Spry Fox websitethis also answers some questions about the future of the studio.
Spry Fox says the partnership won’t change any of their upcoming plans, meaning Cozy Grove 2 and their unnamed nonviolent MMO will still be in development as planned. Instead, Netflix will provide them with financial support, which Spry Fox said will allow them to “stop stressing out” about how their games will turn a profit. While all of Netflix’s current games are available through their mobile apps, the blog post doesn’t mention anything about the platform’s exclusivity.
Spry Fox joins five other in-house game developers at Netflix: Next Games (Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales), Night School Studio (Oxenfree), Boss Fight Entertainment (Dungeon Boss) and two in-house studios in Helsinki, Seasons Lan and Southern California.
Netflix launched its game collection just over a year ago, in November 2021. Currently, subscribers can play more than 30 games on their mobile app, including Into the Breach, Spiritfarer and Pointy. On top of that, Netflix has more than 50 other games in development. Have you had a chance to play any of the games on the Netflix app? Let us know in the comments section.
